User manual

MxControlCenter changes the network configuration of the current camera and, af-
ter a short time, the camera also appears in the list with a new IP address and in
the same subnet as your computer.
Make sure that the Save camera configuration permanently checkbox is acti-
vated so that the new network settings will be used from now on and not just until
the camera's next reboot
.
Defining Additional Video Sources
Besides automatically detecting MOBOTIX cameras, you can also manually add
other video sources to the list of available video sources in MxControlCenter.
• Automatic search: Scans the (physical)
network and finds all MOBOTIX cameras,
even if they are not in the same subnet as
the computer.
• Add camera manually: Enter a known IP
address or the DNS name of a MOBOTIX
camera if this camera had not been de-
tected during the automatic search in the
first place.
• Add MxPEG clip: Adds an MxPEG video
clip previously recorded by a MOBOTIX camera as a video source.
• Add file server path: Adds the alarm images previously stored by a MO-
BOTIX camera on an external file server as a video source.
Selecting Video Sources
Highlight the desired video sources you would like to manage and display in
MxControlCenter in this list.
Camera preview
If you select a camera with a status of
OK ,
MxControlCenter automatically displays the live
images from the camera in the preview win-
dow. If you are using [Ctrl]-click to select several
cameras, the image from the camera selected
last is shown in the preview window. This feature
facilitates identifying the cameras you would like
to use.
